HOW do we measure Success?

"We are often asked this and our first answer is through our stories. When a 14 year old mom is kicked out of her family and village and wants to end life because she is pregnant from rape, but doesn’t……..and chooses hope and family and love ……..we consider it success. When that same 16 year old two years later skips joyfully through our gates with her 2 year old child to drop her off in childcare because she has to hurry off to High School choosing education and hope….we consider it success. We have many stories like this that you can find onour blog but we do have STATS below if you like numbers! We measure success when sustainability happens (a mom is working and earning enough money to support her family) and when family preservation is at the heart of every woman and child we serve. We believe in the family unit and we believe that with a little help, every abandoned woman and child can have a story of success. And that success is built on relationships, the very heart and strength of the James Place."

- Safe House: We have a safe house off property for women and young girls who are in a dangerous situation. This safe haven provides for up to 4 families at a time. 17 families have benefited from this3-month program.

Projects: Last year, many improvements were made at the James Place to help us become more sustainable. These include the building of the following: 2 chicken coops, 1 covered cement bathing area for the children, 1 drainage ditch, 1 protective awning, and 1 goat pen. Many of the playground areas for the children were also renovated, including the treehouse, swing sets, a baby area, monkey bars, and boda tires in order to prevent damage from heavy rains and termites.

100% of our support comes from individual donors and churches that have the same passion to continue family preservation and sustainability. Become one of these donors today.
